Palmer Park Dog Park — Attraction in Colorado Springs

People just gather and talk and do not watch nor clean up after their dogs. This has resulted in the back of the dog park being covered in poop and dog fights. Also, aggressive dog owners consistently and knowingly continue to bring their aggressive dogs to the park, even after multiple incidences starting dog fights, to the point that other dog owners have told them to take their dogs home and not bring them back. There is no way for dog owners to report or ban these people. And the park itself has no shade or grass...just 2 trees on their side and 2 benches. I stopped going to this dog park, even though it is relatively close to me, because of these reasons.

My dog whom is well trained restrained from sinking his teeth into the other dogs neck but now has a fractured Hip. To the gentleman whom allowed this behavior still did nothing as his dog harassed other dogs after we moved our boy to the small pen to enjoy his walk in the grass. To you sir, if i see you again you'll be...

I personally would not recommend this dog park. I took my dog there for the first time today and I won't be back. I thought it would be good for my dog because he loves being around other dogs and I thought it would be fine because there was a sign that said if your dog has any sign of aggression not the bring them or it may have said leave them unattended. I'm not sure exactly but there were many dogs with aggression. Just walking into the park my dog was snarled at and a dog blocked the entrance so he couldn't get in. On top of that a dog followed him with out my dog bothering him and came up and snapped at my dog. There were a lot of aggressive dogs. There were some nice ones as well but a lot of them were aggressive. The park was mostly...
